MikeG Posted February 12, 2019 Group: Moderator Topic Count: 1,984 Content Count: 19,737 Reputation: 3,307 Days Won: 139 Joined: 07/17/2003 Share Posted February 12, 2019 This is not a huge deal but before this gets out of hand, I think we need to address it. I don't know why some people are putting "Yetna X or player B if Yetna does not play"-- that does not seem how this is supposed to work. Part of the prediction is knowing who is playing-- and yeah-- USF is making it a "game time" decision with him each time but it seems unfair to let people hedge their guesses by allowing them to put this down. And is it just not playing or the fact that they dressed for the game but never went in-- does that matter. I think this opens a large can of worms over what is supposed to be a simple contest. Care to weigh in your official ruling on this situation @Brad ? We had one guy do it last game and I asked then but still no word on how to handle this. I mean-- hell-- if you are going to let it stand, everyone will start putting in if/then clauses in the contest. "If USF wins 3 points, otherwise UCF wins 4 points" has about the same weight in my book. Well a bit more extreme but still-- players should be limited to making their pick and sticking with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pick one name and one name only that can be changed prior to the published (scheduled) game time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
